It's unanimous, women love the athleisure trend. We've finally earned a fashion trend that not only looks good and is good for us. Because, the more you wear clothes that can go to the gym, well, the more often you might actually do it. Sure, moms have been wearing yoga pants ...read more
One last photo shoot with my in-house (and I mean that literally) interns. This set of photos was taken by by youngest daughter on her last day of summer break. We spent a ton of time together last week and we talked a lot about my business and telling stories. I told her I use ...read more

I wish I was the girl who could carry the cute, little tiny bag. You know, the adorable clutches and sweet cross-body bags. But I'm the girl who needs her laptop, her chargers, a hairbrush and 17 lip glosses. Inevitably, my bag is larger and more utilitarian. I've been on the ...read more

Summer dresses are definitely my favorite. I love the simplicity of it all. All I need is one item of clothing, plus a great pair of shoes and, BOOM, my outfit is done. While I love strappy dresses, when I have a business meeting or event, I don't like to feel overly revealed. ...read more

One day it's 70, the next 40. Sigh. This is New York City in April. The answer is, bring a jacket because things are going to change quickly (oh, and then back again). I have a great blazer for spring from cabi that I will keep on wearing again and again. The Bell Jacket is a ...read more
When April rolls in like a lion, I'm often stumped when it comes to what to wear. I want to debut my spring apparel and lighter colors, but alas, the temperatures are in the 30s! When I see my friends posting from warmer climates, I want to hop on a plane and join them. But mom ...read more

I love a good shoe trend. While I don't try to keep up on all the fashion trends I spot, shoes are a different thing. A new shoe doesn't seem like that big of a commitment. It's an accessory that can pack a punch. Today, I'm trying on Swedish Hasbeen Clogs. The Swedish clogs pay ...read more
Here we are. Knee deep in winter with no end in sight. The news this morning calls for a "wintery mix" later today in NYC. That's not good news. It can make even the most fashionable mom retreat into jeans and turtlenecks without hope of better options. But hang on friends, I've ...read more
